Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 12.8%)

Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc is a Sonoma County white wine from Matanzas Creek Winery in the Bennett Valley sub-appellation. It blends 97% Sauvignon Blanc with 3% Semillon, with fruit drawn from nine distinct vineyards, each set harvested separately and fermented individually before blending. Roughly 87% is fermented in stainless steel and 13% in neutral French oak barrels. The aroma leads with fresh lime and lemon zest, white nectarine and Bosc pear, with jasmine and honeysuckle underneath. The palate is bright with key lime and pomelo, with stone fruit, Fuji apple and ripe melon at mid-palate. The finish is medium in length, with green tea, fresh grated ginger and vetiver, plus citrus pith and crushed stone.
